🚐 The Prostate Cancer Man Van is coming to Blackburn with Darwen

We’re bringing free PSA finger-prick prostate testing directly into the community. The test is quick, simple and gives men the chance to speak with a nurse about their prostate health.

Who should consider getting tested?
• Men aged 50+
• Black / BAME men aged 45+
• Anyone with a family history of prostate cancer

Prostate cancer often has no early symptoms, so testing can be an important step in early detection.

📍 See the poster in this post for upcoming locations, dates and times.
No appointment needed – just drop by and have a chat with the team.

We will also be bringing Flu Vaccinations to each location for those who haven't had their flu jab yet!

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with friends, family and your community.
